🎥 Controversial free-kick leads to goal at Maracanã, watch here | OneFootball

Fluminense and Ceará faced off this Wednesday (29), in a postponed match from the 12th round of the Brasileirão, held at the Maracanã. 

The Tricolor won 1 x 0 thanks to Renê, reaching the G-6.

The goal came after a controversial foul call. 

In an attempt to attack on the right with John Kennedy, referee Flávio Rodrigues de Souza (Fifa-SP) ruled that there was a handball by Marllon, Ceará's defender, with his right hand.

This led to a lot of complaints from the defender.

The sequence of the play resulted in the aforementioned goal by Renê, at 26 minutes.

And more complaints from Vozão. 

Only if the handball had occurred in the area - ensuring a penalty - could VAR be "protagonist." 

The result took Fluminense to 47 points. They took the sixth position for having more victories than Botafogo (14 against 13).

Ceará remains with 35 points and in 14th place. Vitória opens the Z-4 with 31 points.
